Things To Do
Lookout Mountain
Lookout Mountain rises 2,000 feet above sea level and overlooks Chattanooga. The views are as amazing as the long-standing attractions that call Lookout Mountain home: Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Incline Railway, and Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park.
Tennessee Aquarium
This aquarium has two buildings: River Journey, which showcases freshwater habitats from around the globe, and Ocean Journey, where travelers can view magnificent sea creatures. We recommend spending at least three hours at the aquarium as there are over 10,000 animals here. The little ones will especially love the cute macaroni penguins and mesmerizing sea jellies.
Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery
The first distillery to craft whiskey in Chattanooga in over 100 years. With over 100 different barrels maturing in the aging cellar, every visit to the Experimental Distillery is an exploration of the past, present and future of hand-crafted bourbon.
Chattanooga Zoo
The Chattanooga Zoo is a non-profit organization and relies on community support to flourish and grow. Support received from the community allows the Zoo to provide excellent animal care, improve facilities, and educate thousands of children each year.
Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum
The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum offers visitors a unique experience with Chattanooga and Delano train rides on vintage train cars.
Red Clay State Historic Park
This park brings to life the reality of the removal of Cherokee life during the 19th century. Located on the land where the Cherokee council once met, this park provides opportunities to learn about the Cherokee, and provides amenities such as picnic areas and an amphitheater. There is also a natural landmark known as blue hole spring. More information on this park and many more can be found at the TN State Parks website.
